“No one is nuking anyone!”

_____________

If no one is nuking anyone, what’s so dangerous about the rhetoric? You have a crystal ball do you?

Very unpopular. Many other worthy causes if we cared about our own citizens or region. How about some aid to Acapulco? I’d say we owe them something to make up for being the world’s shittiest neighbor.

I’ve tried to figure out some justification for the 14 billion.

Given Joe Biden’s request to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties, paying for accurate smart bombs and missiles might be justified.

The other Israeli need might be to make up for the soldier salaries and lost Israeli income taxes of Israelis called up for military service. Given Americans are still being held hostage this too might be justified.

Can anyone provide the official reasons for the $14 billion sum?

Says Massie, the man that Voted to raise the Debt Ceiling and to give Joe his Spending package.

I suspect Massie is doing his usual grandstanding knowing full well it’s going to pass.

We know what Massie did when he could’ve stopped the Crazy Spending bills.

There is a downside that providing financial aid to Israel will anger some countries and people.

Letting American supporters of Israel contribute to Israeli government social programs would free up Israeli funds for hostage rescue and Hamas militant elimination efforts.

DC has intention of limiting spending. It’s a farce.

It’s as fake as a six year Investigation by John Durham.

They’ll cut Social Security and LE grants before they stop a penny of the money to the Foreign / Defense Industry.

They put a Liquor store that delivers to Congress in the Capitol, folks.

Along with Gyms, Restaurants, Hair Salon, and the Club.

I honestly DGAF about Israel — or any other country in the world that is perfectly capable of managing its own affairs. Hence my desire to not even send one nickel to any of them. That goes for Israel, Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, or any other country.

I like Massie and I see his point, but this is chicken scratch compared to the federal benefits given to the 15,000,000+ illegal invaders.
That is the elephant in the room that everyone is ignoring.
Where is he on that?

We don’t have to give them aid, but as a Biblical nation we have a Biblical responsibility to stand with them them. And the US is the only Biblical nation on the Earth.

Simply can’t afford it?! How many billions have we dumped into Ukraine? How many billions has slow Joe given to the Iranians and the PA? The Israelis need a measly -by US government accounting - $14.5 billion and we can’t afford it? GFTOOH!

Massie manages to Vote against any Border Control measure - including the Wall.

He also joined Dems to pass a bill that protects Chinese interests in specific industries here.

The guy wears a Debt Clock pin but single-handedly raised the Debt Ceiling and saw that another one of Joe’s behemoths got passed.

I smell a Rat.

Oppression against ancient Christian communities is something the American taxpayer is always glad to back.

Massie voted for the debt ceiling bill that gave Biden unlimited borrowing power. This guy virtue signals and is a fake and a phony.

You left out antisemite.

He depends upon people to believe his screwy logic. I’ve caught him in direct and clear lies about his Votes.
